De Temps Antan: 7 & 8:30 PM/ DIA Moment: PuppetSlam Detroit! 8 PM
The Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s annual free diversity music festival. It is presented by the Arab American National Museum, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Institute of Arts, Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, ACCESS, and Midtown Detroit Inc. with the goal of bringing together metro Detroit’s diverse ethnic communities by presenting music from around the world. Over its 20-year history, the festival has become a beloved highlight of metro Detroit’s summer festival season, and one of the few free-admission music festivals remaining locally. The DIA is proud to participate in this event, and will feature a program of free music and a theater performance, as well as complimentary admission to the museum's galleries until 10pm.
